Those of you familiar with the Marvel Cinematic Universe (and maybe even those of you who aren’t) are almost certainly familiar with the Dora Milaje, the all-female, spear-wielding military brigade loyal to the kingdom of Wakanda. Led by the tenacious general Okoye (played by Danai Gurira), the Dora Milaje have been responsible for some of the MCU’s most intense fight scenes to date.
But the real-life inspiration for Wakanda’s premier military force is an enrapturing force all its own, and they’ve finally found their way onto the big screen; The Woman King, starring Viola Davis, is currently laying siege to the box office as a rousing historical action film centered on the Agojie, the all-female warrior unit that served the African kingdom of Dahomey (located in present-day Benin).
